It sounded like a fine idea, but the execution proved a little tricky as sailors worked to moor the massive gray boat.

Congre 'o al Ondy Trand Christeson Moul Of THE STORY Gift of presence, not of presents '"Tu love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides. • -David Viscott J on and I love our daughters, and we love being with them. Since they are both in college, we cherish any time we all spend together. Many of you know that our daughter, Kelly, has been studying and working in Argentina for five months. She was due to come home this week, and we were all counting the days until she arrived. Kelly called me about a month ago and said: "Mom. what do you think about me coming home eight days early and surpris· ing Dad by being home on his birthday?" •I can't think of anything better,• I answered. She said, *I'll find out if it's even possi- ble to change my plane tickets. It may be too late. I'll call back tomorrow.• When Kelly called back, Jon answered. She gave him a message in code to let me know she made the switch. That's when the planning began. That's also-when the truth-stretching began. I already knew I wanted to have a little surprise birthday celebration for Jon and then decided to double the surprise by having Kelly show up at the party. I purposely avoided asking Jon what he wanted for his birthday, because I knew be would say that be wanted to have Kelly home. Soon I purposely avoided talking to him about Kelly much at all. I found that -as the days went by, my excitement grew and .th~ plans caine together -1 kept slipping up by saying something that almost gave the secret away. I stretched the truth so many times, I was sure something W.4$ about to snap. l knew l couldn't have the party at home, so I chose a nearby park. On the morning of his birthday, as soon as Jon and our second daughter, Amy, left for a bike ride, I sprang into action and headed to the airport. My family and friends helped with food and decorations. I brought Kelly home safely, but she barely escaped being spotted by Jon when be drove on one side of the street - just as she was walking down the other to hide out at a friend's house until time to make her appearance. When the moment came I told Jon we were picking up friends for dinner. I said that if they weren't at home, we were to get them at the park. As we walked to the picnic benches, everybody yelled, •surprtse1• We stood in a circle and held hands to say grace before dinner. When our eyes were closed and our beads were bowed I said, •Thank you. God, for Jon and how special he is to all of us. I know he is missing Kelly and I read that it is only 41 degrees in Argentina. Please be with Kelly too.• At that moment Kelly stepped in between us and took our hands. Jon opened his eyes, and then for the next few minutes he and Kelly hugged, laughed and hugged some more. rt made all the work and worthwhile. I know I'm not the first to use these words this way, but it fits this situation per- fectly. Sometimes the best presents we can give someone 1s the gift of our presence. And you can quote me on that.

OPEN HOUSE SEuotOT Temple Isaiah of Newport Outreach programs: The life that each member lives in the com- munity is the church's greatest outreach. Mission and outreach are where a person spends most of his or her time, doing what he or she does best. The church supports its denomination in a vast array of programs, with Orange Coast Interfaith Shelter possibly the current favorite out- reach. Dress: Respectful. but no code in place Church design: The building is of traditional colonial design, as befits the,church's Congregation- al heritage. In 1957 the Congre- gati'onal Quisti.an Chui'ch merged with the Evangelic:al and Reform Church to fonn the United Church of Christ Hailed as a .milestone in ecumenical progress at the time, it also con- fused and muted both identities. The church's heritage dates to the New England Puritans.

Sotvfdoy, Avgusr Z6. 2COO A3 You miss too much while you 're blinki1zg your eye5 P at Thomas raised three boys and maintained a stable, loving home for them and her husband, Bill, for more than 45 years. Last month, Pat's oldest son, Mike, turned 45. Mike is no slouch. You name the sport and chances are not only has he experienced it, he could probably beat you at it, too. Mike ~so has a sharp mind and a quick wit and loves to talk about important things like the environment, education, the economy and most of all, children, espe- cially bis own 6-year-old daµghter, Kasey. Mike is the kind of man women find attractive and men want as a friend. Mike is a good husband, a good father and for the past 25 years it has been an honor and a pleasure to call him my friend. About six weeks ago, Mike was driving to work when he started perspiring Steve Smith WHAT'S UP? profusely. "I turned up the air conditioner full-blast even though it was seven in the morning and I was still sweating like crazy,• he told me. Mike's shirt was soaking wet.

That was July 9. lWo days later, Mike was having a revolutionary artery replacement procedure called a "laparoscopic bypass." The wizards at the San Ramon Medical Center replaced three of his clogged arteries without having to saw through his sternum, which has been routine in bypass operations for decades.

Since they are both in college, we cherish any time we all spend together. Many of you know that our daughter, Kelly, has been studying and working in Argentina for five months. She was due to come home this week, and we were all counting the days unW she arrived. Kelly called me about a month ago and said: *Mom, what do you think about me coming home eight days early and surpris- ing Dad by being home on his birthday?" #I can't think of anything better." I answered. She said, #I'll find out if it's even possi- ble to change my plane tickets. It may be too late. I'll call back tomorrow." When Kelly called back, Jon answered. She gave him a message in code to let me know she made the switch. That's when the planrung began. That's also when the truth-stretching began. I already knew I wanted to have a little surprise birthday celebration for Jon and then decided to double the surprise by having Kelly show up at the party. I purposely avoided asking Jon what he wanted for his birthday, because I knew he would say that he wanted to have Kelly home. Soon I purposely avoided talking to him about Kelly much at all. I found that -as the days went by, my excite ment grew and the plans came together -1 kept slipping up by saying something that almost gave the secret away. I stretched the truth so many ti.mes, I was sure sometlung was about to snap. I knew I couldn't have the party at home, so I chose a nearby park. On the morning of his birthday, as soon as J on and our second daughter, Arny, left for a bike ride, I sprang into action and beaded to the airport. My family and friends helped with food and decorations. I brought Kelly home safely, but she barely escaped being spotted by Jon when he drove on one side of the street - just as she was waJking down the other to hide out at a frie nd's house until time to make her appearance. When the moment came I told Jon we were piclong up friends for dinner. I said that if they weren't at home, we were to get them at the park. As we walked to the picnic benches, everybody yelled, "Surprise!" We stood in a cirde and held hands to say grace before dinner. When our eyes were closed and our heads were bowed I said, "Thank you, God, for Jon and how special he is to all of us. I know he is missing Kelly and I read that it is onJy 41 degrees in Argentina. Please be with Kelly too." At that moment Kelly stepped in between us and took our hands. Jon opened his eyes, and then for the next few minutes he and Kell y hugged, laughed and hugged some more. It made all the work and worthwhile. I know I'm not the first to use these words this way, but it fits this situation per- fectly. Sometimes the best presents we can give someone is the gift of our presence. And you can quote me on that. • CINDY T1'ANI CHIUSftSON is a Newport Beach resident who speaks frequently to parenting groups. She may be reached via e-mail at clndyOoothegrow.com .

POUCI FILES ' Daily Pilot o ' I I ' I I t • ' ' Saturday, Augu11 26, 2000 AS You miss too much while you 're blinking your ryes P at Thomas raised tJ:rree bo s and maintained a stable, loving home for them cmd her husband, Bill, for more than 45 years. Last month, Pat's oldest son, Mike, turned 45. Mike is no slouch. You name the sport and chances are not only has he experienced it, he could probably beat you at it, too. Mike also has a sharp mind and a quick wit and loves to talk about important things like the environment, education, the economy and most of all, children, espe- cially his own 6-year-old daughter, Kasey. Mike is the kind of man women find attractive and men want as a friend. Mike is a good husband, a good father and for the past 2.S years it has been an honor and a pleasure to call him my friend. About six weeks ago, Mike was driving to work when he started perspiring Steve Smith WHAT'S UP? profusely. ·1 turned up the air conditioner full-blast even though it was seven in the morning and I was still sweating like crazy,· he told me. Mike's shirt was soaking wet. Not one to overreact, Mike, under normal circum- stances, would have contin- ued on to work , figuring that he could just plow through his condition. But being a father does something to a •ot of guys. Many of them become more responsible and realize that Harwtst Dilact Protean . .JILU Add Water they are no longer happy wanderers. Now, they're liv- ing for two and everything counts: diet, exercise, how fast you drive and what stress you allow into your life. So Mike thought of Kasey, and his wife, Susan, and drove himself straight to the hospital. An hour later, the doctors told Mike that he had had a heart attack. That was July 9. 1\vo days later, Mike was having a revolutionary artery replacement procedure called a "laparoscopic bypass.· The wizards at the San Ramon Medical Center replaced three of his clogged arte ries without having to saw through his sternum, which has been routine in bypass operations for decades. Mike was only the·85th patient at the San Ramon Medical Center to receive Japaroscopic bypass and it was very successful. Three days later, he went home. 1\vo weeks later, he was down in Oceanside, surf fish- ing. He was laking it easy, but he was fishing. , But while Mike was in the hospital, another tragedy struck the Thomas family. Pat Thomas was admitted to the hospital, also diag- nosed with heart problems. So concerned was Bill · Thomas that he waited two days before he told her about Mike and his own surgery. Pat's condition was severe and the doctors, seeing there was little they could do for her, sent her home after a few days. On Tuesday, Aug. 15, Pat Thomas passed away in he r sleep.

Of course kids grow up in an instant The problem is we don't riotice kids growing up and out because we have filled our days with so much meaning- less activity that we miss what is really important. We miss all of the signs of connectivity to that which is precious because. we ~ot seem to extricate ourselves from the ·trivial. And it's not as though we try -we don't. So many of us have ~n beaten into submission by our various payments and obligations and by the mind- less examples of how we are suppose to live. We are bom- barded by those examples in every possible media form and we are numb to any sense of higher purpose. We must drive tbe right car. wear the right clothes and live in the right neighbor- hood . For what?

Irvine police arrested Manzo on a parole violation warrant but handed him over to Costa Mesa police, who wanted him in con- nection with the armed robt?erf, said Sgt. Tom Uttle of the Irvine Police Department. Police tried to talk to Manzo through the door, but did not break it down and take him by force because be was listed on the warrant as armed and dangerous, Uttle said. . •They felt it wasn't prudent to force their way in, although they could have with the warrant,• Uttle said. ·we then evacuated llll adjacent apartinents. • · . That crime involved a home invasion- style robbery last Wednesday, involving a woman and her son in East Side Costa Mesa, Little said.

Fourteen teachers from Costa Mesa, Corona del Mar and Newport Beach all spent a week at a summer camp. And it bad nothing to do with surfing, swimming, tennis or basketball. 1bis camp focused on skills such as creating Web pages and preparing class projects and lesson plans on the com- puter. The teachers also were instructed on innovative and effective ways to use technolo- gy in the classroom. "It gave me the opportunity to spend a good week fine- tuning my skills with programs like PowerPoint. • said Jenith Mishne, a sixth-grade teacher at Rea Elementary School in Costa Mesa.

Alex Coolman. DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH -An event at Shellmaker Island today will give the public its first introduction to the plea- sures of a Back Bay Interpre- tive Center that wiU be unveiled later this fall. The event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m .• won't showcase the actual facility of the Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center, set to open in October. That build- ing, at the intersection of University Drive and Irvine Avenue, is still under con- struction. But today's festivities should introduce the public to the kinds of things the center hopes to offer. said Llsa Miller, president of the Shellmaker, Inc. dredging company and the director of the event. ~People don't really know what 'interpretation' means, so we came up with this event to sort of kick off the whole idea." Miller said. Specifically. the day will offer "creation stations· that are both entertaining and educational. such as gyotaku, the Japanese art of making fish prints; creation of murals; and creating clay sculpture. All of the activities, which are designed for both adults and children, are intended to impart a lesson about the Back Bay environment, Miller said. "The whole thing is based on education.• This approach to under- standing nature, which tries to proVide li gr'C\ter cQntext for physical encounters with the environment, is some- thing· that Newport residents haven't been able to obtain easily in the past, said Jack Keating, the president of Newport Bay Naturalists and Friends. "People have been able to come to the bay just to enjoy its beauty, but we haven't had a · place where people can go to have the bay inter- preted for them.• The benefit to the "inter- pretive" approach, he said, is that it makes it possible to pick up on many details that might otherwise be missed. •An individual might look at the mud and say 'Gee, that's mud.' What they need to know is that mud is the home to a huge number of critters that live there and provide food sources for many birds and other aquat- ic creatures that live in the Bay,• Keating said. Shellmaker Island is at the end of Shellmaker Road in NeW-port Beach.

Hurting for the cure •Seaman Milce Rogers will undergo the excruciating Catalina Classic this weekend, and feel the pain of cancer victims he will help. Mathis Winkler DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH Listening to Mike Rogers describe what awaits him when he enters the Catalina Classic paddleboard race Sunday, it's difficult to understand why anyone would voluntarily endure the ordeal -especially since he's taking it on for the sixth consecutive year. "I won't be able to work for probably five days,• he said, sitting on the Marinapark beach on Balboa Peninsula, where he's been training for the race. "My wrists will swell up. My nbs will be too bent out of shape to take a normal breath for a few days.• After the 60-person, 32- mile race from the island to Manhattan Beach Pier, Rogers is likely to repeat the two words he uttered when he crept on shore after a wmd-swept "race from hell" SEAN HIU.ER I OAl.Y ~OT Mike Rogers, 50, wW paddle from Catalina Island to the Manhattan Beach Pier on Sunday ln an effort to raise money for cancer research at Hoag Hospital. in 1996: "Never again.• But his motivation for pad- dling will probably send him back across the channel next year. It started about seven years ago, when his rather-in- law and a dose friend died from cancer. The 50-year-old guest services supervisor at the Hyatt Newporter decided he needed to do something to help find a cure. "When you see great peo· ple go down, you say, 'Maybe there is something I can do for people who are still living,' • he said. Participating in one of the world's toughest races seemed just right. It has helped him raise $250,000 for research at Hoag Hospital's Cancer Center, the largest in the county and among the top 100 in the nation. So far this year, he has raised $80,000 in exchange for a grueling time out at sea. "It's a race that I have a lot of fear ot: Rogers said, adding that he's also paddled in shorter ones over the years. "I know I'll be in such pain for so long.• But pushing hls body to the limits helps him to under- stand the suffering of cancer patients, he said. "My agony of trying to get to the beach• nurrors people's fight to defeat the disease, he said. The mixed emotions he experiences dunng the six to eight hours on the water also seem to reflect an ill person's struggle for hope. "I'd like to quit. I'd like to qwt, I'd like to quit." ts a mantra Roge~ repeats dunng the race, where he drinks and eats carbohydrate supple- ments to supply his body with energy. "But then I say, 'I'm feeling good,' • he sa.sd, adding that he's dedicating this year's race to a friend suffering from breast cancer.

August 26, 2000 _Theres room for the Internet in borne design W e have a couple of rooms in our house that a.re in a constant state of fluctua- tion. I guess they just haven't found their own personali- ties yet, or more than likely, I haven't given them their undeniable character that stands the test of time. I think it's the accumula- tion of accessories that pre- vents me from perfecting certain rooms. I'm picky about what comes into the house. My favorite spaces are those that "evolve.• This doesn't happen overnight, it happens over time with the right combi- nation of quirky, elegant and classic pieces. I guess you could say that the rooms in my house have classic bones, but their personalities come from just the right stuff, and the right stuff is hard to find. The quest for amaz- ing, amusing and afford- able items is an art in itself, and treasure hunting is a time consuming task. Somehow with severe time restraints, or with a bunch of kids in tow (even worse), the adventure is less than pleasurable. It used to be store owners would see us coming and start wringing their hands in anxiety. One of the latest time Karen W19ht NO PLAQ UKE HOME savers for me, aside from the fact that the kids are older and not glued to my side, has been information via Internet. For some rea- son, I fought this shopping venue for a long time. After a few experiences, I have changed my mind. In my list of "favorite places" I have Pottery Barn, Smith+Noble window cov- erings, Pratt Paint Colors, Karastan Floor coverings, garden.com, Martha Stew- art, George Smith furnish- ings, and other home fur- nishing brokers such as HomePortfolio and good- bome.com. One of the best surprises has been the Internet auc- tion house e-bay. I thought it was a weird concept, buying someone else's used stuff and discards. But when you think about it, it's not any different that going to a favorite antique store. we're Bursting With Quality Furniture at Great Savings! • Model Home Furniture • Antiques •Art Accessories •Area Rugs & More! Custom Refinishing & Upholstery (949) 646-1822 670 W. 17th St., 102 • Costa Mesa A few monthl ago, I decided to give 1t a try. With the aquatic spirit run- ning through my fingertips, I typed in a search for •mermaid.• I'm not sure why I picked mermaid, maybe I was thinking of the new pool bath or perhaps something for Annie's room, but mermaid and my family just seemed to connect. The most interesting things popped up on the mermaid list. And there were a lot of them. Some highlighted items were obviously not what I was looking for. There were a few headlines that were looking for a racier audi- ence, but most of the items for sale were innocuous. Ceramic figures, old prints, button card labels, decals and sketches. I added the word "vintage• -which is a big buzzword on e-bay - apd the list was narrowed to some outstanding and very interesting items. I placed a bid, kept an eye on my intended pur- chase until the auction closed, and I found myself to be the new owner of an 1894 original print of Mer- Children. The print is sweet, and the quality is high, I can't wait to have it suitably framed and hung. And get this: I nev~ left the house, I spent very little time searching and it only cost $12. I had to add ship- ping to the total, but that brought the grand total to $14.Realisticall~Iwill spend much mo.re than that when I frame it, but my point is that I would never have found this treasure otherwise. Since then, I have added a few more items to the mermaid collection, an antique porcelain mermaid figure, a 1932 mermaid but- ton card, a 1940 French "Tarzan & the Mermaids• movie poster, and a 1945 mermaid sketch. None of the items were over $30, the quality is amazing and I can •shop• after the kids go to bed without leaving the house. I'm impressed. Now that I'm done with my mermaid collection, I'm onto other things. I have found some unbelievable water polo memorabilia: 1920's Grenada water polo stamps, old water polo trad- ing cards, Olympic water polo trading pins. And all at my fingertips, literally. So venture on a treasure hunt of your own. Don't be afraid to "search" and •go.· Even though home is where my heart is, I've found home design satisfaction on the World Wide Web. • KAREN WIGHT Is a Newport Beach resident. her column runs Saturdays.

But Eggleston said the bottom quickly filled up again with silt. •we had to have an extension,• he said, referring to a roughly 10- foot-wide platform that was attached to the dock on the harbor side of the Pride of Newport to make sure the Zephyr didn't run aground. •we thought, 'Oh God, you know. what are we going to do?' • if the harbor proves too shallow, he said. Rubbing elbows with museum officials at dockside Friday was Newport Beach Mayor John Noyes, who had stopped by to wel- come the sailors. "It's great that the Nautical Museum is promoting this and sup- porting Newport Beach's her- itage,• Noyes said. The Zephyr will available for tree tours from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and Sunday.

At the Small World Preschool, which is only a few blocks away from the South- coast center, assistant director Marcella Garcia said she had little d oubt about Abrams' mental condition. • U someone can just run into a preschool without any remorse, there's no way he • can be sane,• Garcia said.

"It's dll extremely complex project. I've not beard any word from any of our elected offi- cials to do anything different from what we've historically done.• Edmonston pointed out that Cos- ta Mesa officials, who oppose the bridges, have their own agenda for wanting the study to be completed: they hope, he said, to get the possi- bility of coristruction wiped off the political radar as soon as possible.

The fund-raiser wowed the local crowd that turned out last week at the lavish Newport Coast estate of developer David Close. A little sunset cocktail conversation mixed With local community art talk and stirred with an eye-popping tour of the Close project called • Serenissima • made for a perfect Friday evening.

Over the weekend. anoth- er 300-plus folks strolled the estate and viewed tbe art, helping the nonprofit foun- dation reach its goal of rais- ing $25,000 to support the arts and art education in the Newport community. To add to the cocktail reception excitement, Close gathered guests in his two- story, 1\lscan-inspired great room overlooking the Pacific Ocean and presented a check for $10,000 from the Close Family Foundation to Cu:rta.ln to further under- THE CROWD write the arts programs for children.

Saturday, August 26, 2000 AJS Segerstrom steps up to the plate once again I t is obvious that Henry T. Segerstrom thinks big.

The expansion project is par- ticularly dear to Segerstrom, who has bolstered The Center since its incep- tion. by South Coast Repertory theater. Henry Segerstrom also recently donated another six acres -a parcel valued at more than $13 million -for The Center's expansion. He has been the Daddy Warbucks to the arts community's Little Orphan Annie. He b'as been called a genius for his business leadership and acumen. and cultural mecca. Henry T.

As a parent of a child with Down's syndrome, I feel empathy for Thomas' mother. Parenting a child with significant challenges is not always easy, and the way to navi- gate through the system in order to access the appropriate educational supports and services for your child can be perplexing. As a veteran parent, and also a professional in the field, I would like to share with your readers some of the many resources they can reach out to for help. Team of Advocates for Sped.al Kids is the parent-training information center in Orange County funded by our federal government. It provides free telephone support and· advocacy to anyone who has a question regard- ing educational rights and opportu- nities and they offer many other services to help educate and sup- port parents and professionals. Many are calling it the Segerstrom county's largest single cash gift ever. The funds will be used toward building the $200-million, 2,000-seat. He might have a mind for big busi- ness, but he has a big heart to match. lETIER OF THE WEEK \'Vishing area Olympians luck in Sydney N ext month, one of the greatest sporting events in the world will commence once again: It's the Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. This is not just a time when athletes from the world gather. but also a time when all peo- ples of the world have a chance to come together and rejoice, regardless of color, political views or religio\1$ beliefs. If only for a short time, this single event shows the world that we can coexist in peaceful competition. Each school district also has a community advisory committee that meets on a regular basis during the school year to discuss issues of con- cern to both educators and parents of children with special needs. There are also parent support groups representing a wide range of disabilities throughout Orange County that hold regular meetings and provide networking opportuni· ties. Many times mentor parents can be connected with parents in need here as well. CONRAD l.4U I DAl.Y Pl.OT Terry Meek bas been mired tn red tape trying to get help for son, Thomas, 4, who is developmentally disabled. I find it exciting that our small Newport-Mesa communi- ty will be well represented by three YOW19 men and women. Cara Heads Lane, women's weight liftingi Misty May, women's beach volley~ and Aaron Peirsol. men's swimming, will have the chance of a life- time to represent their country and their cooununity. I can't speak for other districts. but it has been my experience that Newport-Mesa has worked hard at being responsive to parent's con- cerns and students rights. The 1997 reauthorization of the Individuals Disabilities Education Act strength- ened students' options and the par- ents right to participate. While the system itself is still not perfect, and educational timeliness incredibly frustrating to work with, it has been my experience that the administra- tors and educators in Newport- Mesa want what is best for its stu- dents. Finding the perfect recipe for success ls not a simple process. lt cm Of COSTA MISI Costa Mesa City Hall, 77 Pair Drtve, Costa Mesa. CA 926261 ("114) 754-5223 Mayor: Gary Monahan Ca nd'· Elizabeth A.

For years we thought this was a scenic, charming and attractive place to visit. But then a huge hotel was built on a spit of land out in the bay, and it completely ruined the entire scenic abnospbere of Port Ludlow. We now face a closely similar option at the Dunes. A large high- rise hotel at the Dunes is aestheti- cally as ruinous of the attractive- ness of that part of Newport Beach as that monstrosity is at Port Lud· low. It would be like putting a shark in a goldfish bowl. Now is the time to bring this folly to a halt before we are confronted with the miserable consequences of mind· less expansion. DAVID H.

"Most of the guys played 2-3 years of ..Yater polo.· Estancta's starting lineup saw significant action last seaion. Its top returning scor- er is senior Phil Westfall, who wu second on the team in gpals behind the gradual~ Devid Collier. He has now a.ssumed the role as the team leader. •He's very motivated this year,• Carpenter said. "Last year, he was playing behind odr two seniors and he accepted his role. Th1s year, he bas really stepped it up a notch. I think be has a very big year in store.• SeniQJ D.J. Glacy, last year's starting goalie, also returns in a different position. He opted to play in the field this year as a driver, which means last year's backup goe.lie, senior Dan Wotta, is now the starter and Glacy is Wotta's backup. Sophomore Joey Lindquist gives Estancia three goalies. •tt gives us a little bit of flexibility in goal, and that's Uw,llys nice,• Carpenter said. · Glacy joins younger broth- er E:utt, a junior, in the start- i!Kt lineup. Cliff, along with ~. is Estancia's primary target in the set and th e team's best defensive player. Westfall and Cliff Glacy both possess a fine outside shot and Carpenter sees that as an invaluable skill. lllUllU • .; ESTANCIA BOYS WA1CRPOLO ·n's so important to have guys who can shoot outside because so many teams col- lapse their defense in the set,· he said. Seniors Matt Thorpe and Brian Monette also return to the starting lineup.-Junior K.G Fairbam and sophomore Frank Gamboa, often-used reserves last year, round out the starters. Senior John Reddoch was an important utility player on last year's team, and be will see considerable action. Nick Rycroft is another senior from last . year's team. Senior Jose Monterroso and junior Tai Thai are two who moves up to the varsity level. With 14 players who were a part of Estancia's water polo program last year, Carpenter has an opportunity to add more wrinkles to his offense. Things are looking up for Estancia but the Pacific Coast Leagu.!! is tough. ·There's a sense ot optimism, but it's a guarded optimism,• Carpen- ter said. ·we still have to play defending CIF (Division II) champion Corona del Mar, University and Laguna Beach."
